Microsoft is hard at work on Service Pack 1 (SP1) for
Windows Vista. Microsoft's latest consumer operating system launched
in November and is expected to be used by over 200 million people before
the end of 2007.

As is the case with any operating system, Vista is far from
perfect. There have been issues
with ReadyBoost, copying/moving large files, resuming from sleep/hibernate
and Blu-ray playback on numerous systems.

According
to AeroXperience, the latest
build of SP1 sent to testers was labeled 6001.16549. In
addition, WinBeta claims to have screenshots of SP1
which was distributed via an ISO -- 3.07GB for the 32-bit
version and 4.3GB for the 64-bit version.

In addition to the SP1 information, AeroXperience also reports that Windows XP SP3 was
released to testers (Build 5.1.2600.3180). The download
weighs in at 350MB and supposedly fixes over 900 issues with the operating
system.
